Minor utilities like an alpha-blending tweaker CAN be written by a single Windows-inclined geek in a small amount of time. Just because *you* can't do it doesn't mean he can't either.
It depends on whether you're a user or a luser. Take those black-clad, beret-toting, latté-wielding graphic design art-fags, for example. You see one of those guys sitting at an iSmacK playing around in Photoshop, does he* use keyboard shortcuts at the sort of rate that makes him look like he's playing Quake mouse-and-keyboard style or does he look like his non-mouse-hand is doing something bad under the table?
(* I use the male pronoun because, while females can be art-fags and graphic designers, females can't use computers.)
If it weren't for Microsoft, we wouldn't be living in a world where there are more [Western] people with computers than without. Computers would still be too confusing for the unwashed masses, and that would be a good thing.
Looking for a few good crusaders to join the War Against Islam. Strike down the new Satan with your righteousness: outguess.org - purveyors of fine image-based steganography (and steganography detection) tools.
Will karma suicide lead me to salvation and eternal life in Trolls' Paradise? Do I get 70-something virgins and 70-something wives to hand-feed me grapes and whatnot?
If we can get every person who wasted 15 minutes of his* life reading this crap to go and hammer Icrontic.com we could cause considerable damage to Keith's bandwidth bill.
(* I use the male pronoun because girls can't use computers. Obviously.)
AOL gave us blithering idiots who use teeny-bopper acronyms like LOL and ROFL. Microsoft made computing cool and accessible to the public (note: also a bad thing). Choosing the lesser of two evils is left as an exercise to the reader.
There used to be a skiller hacker at my school. He installed NetBus on all the computers in the library. He was only fourteen but he was the coolest guy I ever knew.
Unfortunately, the principal found out about his l33t NetBus skillz and expelled him.
What do you expect? This is SlashDot - the land of pseudo-expert armchair 'hackers.'
If it weren't a hardware hack, maybe someone could have written a script to do it and all the little SlashBots could have h4x0red their X-Boxes using their l33t script executing sk1llz.
You're right, of course, but some people are retards and think they can 'render' quality 3D scenes in realtime with the latest NVidia gear, which is aimed at the Campersniping 12-year-olds market and not the professional 3D graphics market.
Hardware accelerated graphics cards ARE used in a lot of professional compositing, but then that's not really rendering, is it?
Slashdot Mirror
How could you forget:
"Can you imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these?"
Shh, many Slashbots are really good VB programmers (note: oxymoron) - you'll get modded down if you insult their "language" of choice.
Does anyone else think Hexadecimal (as in the Reboot character) is hot?
How is that off-topic? It's as if the use of profanity causes moderator brains to short-circuit.
I've seen dumber shit than that get modded +1, Funny in this thread. Put the crack-pipe down, moderator!

*Someone* has to support Microsoft, especially when they do something good for a change.
Welcome to the Soviet Union of America, comrade.
Did she squirt?
It would have been funny if it didn't support Homosexuality.
(Right-wing moderators! Help! The left-wing bigots of SlashDot have robbed me of my precious karma. I can no longer post at +1)
It's three!
Three is more than two!

Don't mod me down as a Troll just because we both love the same 'alternative' OS.

I think you should have mentioned Beowulf clusters in some way, or at least linked to goatse.cx. You're letting the team down, 256!

Does that make you feel like a real programmer?
This loser is too loose. Save your breath, Bubba.

Face it, moderator.
You only hate him because he's right.
